Gray, 1823-1843. 



Soon afterward, however (in 1823), Dr. Gray abandoned this classifica- 

 tion, and, adopting thequinarian system, combined all the insectivorous 

 genera in one (the third) family (which he named Talpidce), of the sec- 

 ond order of his system {Ferae). This last arrangement was retained by 

 its author for many years, and was finally developed in a ''Systematic 

 list of the genera of mammalia, with their synouyma," introductory to 

 a museum-catalogue,* in the following manner (the Graiian cacography 

 being repeated) : t

t It is to be remarked that the famijies (3) Talpidse (=. order Insectivora), (4) Macropi- 

 dse (= order Marsupialia), and (5) Phocidse (= order Pinnipedia), are combined together 

 as abnormal Ferpe (** Abnormales) and thus contrasted with the normal Ferse, (*Normales, ) 

 orfamihes (1) Felidse (=::Felid0e, Hysenidse, Protelidse, Viverridse, Canidse, Mustelidse,) and 

 (2) Ursidse (= Ursidse, Procyonida3, CercoleptidEe, and ^luridae).
